Can scholars and clerics be manly?, with Maroula Perisanidi

by Medievalists.net
December 26, 2024

A conversation with Maroula Perisanidi about the distinctive kind of masculinity that was fashioned by scholars and priests in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the challenges and deficits that it faced, and the masculine capital that men in those occupations tried to amass and then spend.

Maroula Perisanidi is the Wellcome Trust Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, where she is working on the project A Cultural History of Disability in Byzantium. The conversation is based on Maroula’s just published book Masculinity in Byzantium, c. 1000-1200: Scholars, Clerics and Violence.
